  • Praying for a Calming Spirit

    I need neither to fear men’s threats nor worry about them; I simply need to concentrate on being completely devoted to Christ in my heart (1 Peter 3:14-15 Phillips). Help me and teach me, Lord Jesus, to take Your yolk upon me and to learn from You; for You are gentle and humble in heart, and I will find rest for my soul in You (Matthew 11:29).

    God wants us to have a peaceful spirit, to radiate peace to those around us.

    I sought the Lord, and He answered me; He delivered me from all my fears (Psalm 34:4).  I will be sure to fear only my Lord God and serve Him faithfully with all my heart; I will trust the Lord my God and sincerely worship Him. I will think often of all the tremendous things He has done for me (1 Samuel 12:24). The Lord Almighty is the one I am to regard as holy, Only He should be feared; only He should be held in awe (Isaiah 8:13).

    The Lord is (1) good, (2) a refuge in times of trouble, and (3) He cares for those who trust in Him (Nahum 1:7). The Lord will fulfill His purpose for me; Your love, O Lord, endures forever – I know You will not abandon the works of Your hands (Psalm 138:8).

    How great is Your goodness, O Lord, which You have stored up for those who fear You; which You bestow in the sight of all men on those who take refuge in You. In the shelter of Your presence You hide us from the intrigues of men; in Your dwelling You keep us safe from accusing tongues (Psalm 31: 19-20).

    The Great God has redeemed me from the hand of my adversary, therefore I will have no more fear of the devil (Psalm 107:2). I let the peace of Christ Jesus rule in my heart since as a member of His body I was called to peace. And I am thankful/grateful/praiseful (Colossians 3:15). I refuse to worry or fall into fear over anything.

    I will have no fear of bad news, for my heart is steadfast, trusting in You, my Lord God. My heart is secure. I will have no fear. In the end I will look with triumph on my foe [the devil] (Psalm 112:7-8). I will go on my way in safety, and my foot will not stumble. When I lie down, I will not be afraid. When I lie down, my sleep will be sweet. I will have no fear of sudden disaster, nor of the ruin that overtakes the wicked, for the Lord will be my confidence and will keep my foot from being snared (Proverbs 3:23-26) as long as I trust in Him.

    Lord God, blessed am I when I take refuge in You, for the angel of the Lord encamps all around those who fear You, and delivers them. Fear the Lord, you His saints, for those who fear Him lack nothing. I am here to testify that those who seek You, Gracious God, lack no good thing (Psalm 34:7-10).  Cast your cares on the Lord and He will sustain you; He will never let the righteous fall (Psalm 55:22).

    I am convinced nothing can separate us from God’s love: death can’t, life can’t; angels nor demons can’t; fears for the day nor worries about tomorrow, nor even the powers of hell can’t keep God’s love away from us. I know that whether I am high above the sky or in the deepest ocean, nothing in all creation will ever be able to separate me from the love of God that is revealed through Christ Jesus. (Romans 8:38-39)

    The Lord is my shepherd; I have everything I need. He lets me rest in green meadows. He leads me beside peaceful streams. He renews my strength. He guides me along right paths, bringing honor to His name. Even when I walk through the dark valley of death, I will not be afraid, for You are close beside me. Your rod and Your staff protect and comfort me. You prepare a feast for me in the presence of my enemies. You welcome me as a guest, anointing my head with oil. My cup overflows with blessings. Surely Your goodness and unfailing love will pursue me all the days of my life, and I will gladly dwell in the house of the Lord forever (Psalm 23:1-6).

  • Praying for Peace of Mind

    You promised to make a covenant of peace with us (Ezekiel 34:25). “My people will dwell in a peaceful habitation, in secure dwellings, and in quiet resting places,” declares the Lord (Isaiah 32:18). Lord, ordain peace for me, for all I am and all I have come from You (Isaiah 26:12),

    Trust in Him, for He leads us to peaceful paths.

    Please give me peace flowing like a river, for I have vowed to listen to Your laws (Isaiah 48:18), because those who love Your Word always find great peace of heart and mind, and do not stumble (Psalm 119:165).  You always keep me in perfect peace when I keep my mind stayed on You in an attitude of complete trust in You (Isaiah 26:3). Peace of mind is very precious to me, dear Lord, so I ask You to keep me trusting in You always.

    Lord God, You said the mind governed by the spirit is life and peace (Romans 8:6). With Your gracious hand, gracious Lord, guide my spirit to govern my mind. For I know You have thoughts and plans for my welfare and peace (Jeremiah 29:11), for You promise: “I will let them experience the abundance of peace and truth.” (Jeremiah 33:6)

    In Christ Jesus I have peace (Ephesians 2:14). Being justified by faith, I have peace with You, Father, through my Lord and Savior, Jesus Christ (Romans 5:1).  I will let the peace of Christ Jesus rule in my heart, since as a member of His body I am called to peace. And I will be thankful / grateful / praiseful. I will refuse to worry about anything. (Colossians 3:15).

    Jesus told me all these things through His Word so that in Him I may have peace in this world. I most likely will see trouble, but I will take heart for He has overcome the world (John 16:33) and I through Him. He will guide my feet into the path of peace (Luke 1:79).

    Peace You leave with me, Lord Jesus; Your peace You give to me. Therefore, I will not let my heart be troubled or fearful (John 14:27). I humble myself before You, Lord, and so delight myself in the abundant peace You give to me (Psalm 37:11). 

    I will strive to keep my ways pleasing to You, Lord, for then You will make even my enemies to be at peace with me (Proverbs 16:7). I will be careful to do what is right. As far as possible as it depends on me, I will live at peace with all men (Romans 12:17-18). I will depart from evil and do good; I will seek peace and pursue it (Psalm 34:14).

    I will lie down and sleep in peace, for You alone, O Lord, make me to dwell in safety (Psalm 4:8). Lord God, please help me to remember You when I go to bed (Psalm 63:6). Occupy my thoughts through the watched of the night, because when my mind is on You I don’t worry about other things.

    God of all hope, fill me with Your joy and peace as I trust in You, so I may overflow to others by the power of Your Holy Spirit (Romans 15:13). For the Kingdom of God is not in eating and drinking, but in righteousness, peace, and joy in Your Holy Spirit (Romans 14:17).

    Heavenly Father, thank You for Your peace which surpasses all understanding and keeps my heart and mind through Christ Jesus (Philippians 4:6-7). And things which are true, noble, just, pure, lovely, if they be of good report or have good virtue or are praiseworthy, I will think on these things (Philippians 4:8).

    My God of Peace, please sanctify me through and through (1 Thessalonians 5:23). Thank You for the fruit of peace You give to me through Your Holy Spirit (Galatians 5:22).  I receive Your promise of peace of mind, merciful Lord.  Thank You for Your blessings of peace.

  • Praying to Overcome Confusion

    Your Word promises that whoever believes on Christ Jesus shall not be confounded (1 Peter 2:6). In you, O Lord, I will put my trust; please let me never be put to confusion (Psalm 71:1). There are times when I feel with Job that “I am full of confusion” (Job 10:15). Confusion is continually before me (Psalm 44:15), because wherever there is jealousy or selfish ambition, there will be disorder/confusion (James 3:16 TLB). All idols are but wind and confusion (Isaiah 41:29), and Your Word tells us to keep ourselves from idols (1 John 5:21).

    Rest in the Lord, and He will make all things clear.

    Teach me to love Your law, O Lord.  As I do so, I know I will not stumble and I will have great peace in my life instead of confusion (Psalm 119:165).  Help me, Father.  With Your help I know I will not be confused any longer; Your help enables me to set my face like a flint, and I know I shall not be ashamed (Isaiah 50:7).  Not only that, but You have invited me to cast my burdens upon You (1 Peter 5:7), loving Lord; therefore, I cast this burden of confusion upon You, realizing You will sustain me and never let me down (Psalm 55:22). 

    Heavenly Father, thank You that You are not the author of confusion but of peace (1 Corinthians 14:33), and because of You and Your Spirit, I never have to be confused.  For the Spirit will teach me and bring to my remembrance all things You have tried to teach me (John 14:26). I praise You for not giving me a spirit of fear; instead, You have given me a spirit of power, of love and of a sound mind (2 Timothy 1:7).  Thank You, O my gracious God.

    There are some people who are trying to throw me into confusion (Galatians 1:7); but I will remain trusting in the Lord to bring me back to believing as I was taught (Galatians 5:10). Through Your grace, I will trust in You with all my heart, and I will not lean toward my own understanding.  In all my ways I will acknowledge You, O Lord, and I know You will direct my paths (Proverbs 3:5-6). 

    I thank You, Father, for always sustaining me.  You keep in perfect peace those whose mind is stayed on You as long as we trust in You (Isaiah 26:3).  Thank You for Your peace which surpasses all understanding; it guards my heart and my mind (Philippians 4:7).  It has taken away the confusion I was experiencing, and I know Your peace will keep me safe through Christ Jesus (Romans 5:1).  Your kingdom is a kingdom of righteousness, peace and joy (Romans 14:17). Thank You for setting me free from confusion, gracious Father. Praises to You, O Lord my God!

  • Study On Peace

    Jesus had a special kind of peace.  He slept during a storm while the disciples fed their fears.  This is the peace He left us before His trial and death.  He thought it of high importance, so it is worth sacrifices in our lives to maintain.  It is more precious than being right.  It is a powerful weapon against thoughts from the devil.  It can save us from turmoil and despair.
